Lowry (left knee soreness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry returned from a 15-game absence Saturday and logged 36 minutes off the bench, but now he finds himself back on the injury report with the same ailment that forced him to spend so much time on the sidelines. It's unclear if he experienced a setback in his return, but managers will need to check back on his status closer to Monday's tip. If he can't give it a go, Gabe Vincent and Victor Oladipo will benefit.

Lowry (knee) tallied 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, two steals and one block across 36 minutes Saturday in the Heat's 126-114 overtime loss to the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Since Lowry had missed the Heat's previous 15 games and was coming off the bench Saturday, the prevailing expectation was that his minutes would be limited as he suited up for the first time in five weeks. Instead, Lowry ended up handling his biggest workload since Dec. 10, with Tyler Herro (26 minutes) ceding some playing time to the veteran point guard while battling food poisoning. Herro should be ready to reclaim a 30-plus-minute role Monday against the Jazz, but Lowry could still have a path to a sizable role of his own if Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra elects to marginalize Gabe Vincent, who had averaged a meager 5.0 points in 25.2 minutes per game over a stretch of six outings before logging 37 minutes Saturday. Based on the playing time he received in his first game back, Lowry looks like a strong pickup in most fantasy leagues where he might have been sitting on the waiver wire in light of his prolonged absence.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry has missed the past 15 games for Miami, so the Heat will ease their veteran point guard back into the rotation. Gabe Vincent will remain with the starters for now.

Lowry (knee) is officially available Saturday against Orlando, ESPN's Nick Friedell reports.

EDGE Analysis

Presumably, Lowry will enter the starting lineup and Gabe Vincent will move to the bench. But after 15 games on the sidelines, the Heat may be cautious with Lowry's minutes Saturday.

Lowry (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Magic, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lowry is expected to make his return from a 15-game absence due to soreness in his left knee, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported Friday despite his official questionable designation. Although Lowry will likely be under a minutes restriction, his return will spell fewer opportunities for Gabe Vincent. However, given the official designation, it's worth keeping an eye on Lowry's status ahead of the opening 7 p.m. ET opening tipoff.

EDGE Analysis

This would be a huge lift for Miami as they've been without their floor general for 15 games. Because of the lengthy absence, we'd expect Lowry's minutes to monitored early on. If Lowry does get the green light, Gabe Vincent would likely head back to the bench, and his fantasy value would take a big hit.

Lowry (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Despite hoping to return before the end of the regular season, Lowry will miss his 15th straight game Friday with left knee soreness. Gabe Vincent should continue to start in the veteran point guard's absence. Lowry's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Orlando, and there is some optimism he could be back on the floor within the next week.

Lowry (knee) remains out for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, but the Heat are optimistic he'll return before the end of the regular season and possibly within the next week, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The timeline provided in the report is far from definitive, so the Heat are seemingly content to continue updating Lowry's status on a game-by-game basis rather than offering up a clear target date for his return. Lowry, who hasn't played since Feb. 2 due to left knee soreness, had been dealing with lingering pain for the last few months and saw his performance suffer prior to being sidelined. In 44 appearances this season, Lowry is averaging 12.0 points and 5.3 assists per game -- his lowest marks since the 2012-13 season and 2009-10 season, respectively -- while shooting 39.6 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range.

Lowry (knee) is out Wednesday against the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

It remains unclear when the veteran may return. He last played Feb. 2, and there have been no updates regarding tangible progress.

Lowry (knee) will remain on the sidelines for Monday's game against the Hawks, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

It remains unclear how close Lowry is to getting back to the floor, but at this juncture in the fantasy season, it's getting tough to justify holding him outside of an injury reserve spot. Gabe Vincent will continue to start in his absence, and there will be more minutes available for Victor Oladipo. Lowry's next chance to play will come Wednesday against the Cavs.
